Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has said that development costs for games that fully utilise the 3DS may approach that of Wii games.
But this has nothing to do with the 3D effect, Iwata explains. "As long as you are already creating a fully rendered 3D world, all you have to do in order to create the 3D visual effect is to capture the same images with two cameras, one for right eye and the other for left eye.
"From a development perspective, it actually does not make much of a difference in terms of development costs to create the 3D visual effect," explained Iwata.
"On the other hand, because the visual capabilities of Nintendo 3DS are more powerful than the existing Nintendo DS, if you are going to take full advantage of the graphics capability of Nintendo 3DS, the development cost is also expected to rise.
"Therefore, if developers decide to try and maximize the graphical powers of the system, then the cost would be more expensive than what it is currently for Nintendo DS and may potentially approach the cost of developing Wii software."
We're not surprised in the slightest. Have you seen Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater 3D?

One young man is making marriage proposal look way too easy.
Not only was Matthew Gencarella in a picturesque location to pop the question, but he successfully pulled it off while tandem wakesurfing with longtime girlfriend, Brynn Hathaway, 21, managing to get down on one knee, while on the water, while she's still balancing on the board with him. And to top it off, he even arranged to have the entire magical moment caught on camera.
"We both grew up in this area around Hayden Lake, and we both have a love for the water," Gencarella, 21, of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, told GoodMorningAmerica.com. "I wanted to do something meaningful and significant and different. I didn't want to do a candlelit dinner with the ring in a champagne glass. I wanted to do something unique."
Couple's Wet and Wild Wedding on Water Skis
Gencarella had been planning the elaborate proposal since February, and when the engagement ring he personally designed for Hathaway was complete, he was finally able to turn his dream into a reality on Aug. 24.
"We've known each other for the last 10 years," he said. "We truly are high school sweethearts. It's a dream come true and a long time coming."
But don't be fooled. Although Gencarella makes his one-kneed water stunt look effortless, he admits practice makes perfect, having his buddy that owns the boat pretend to be Hathaway for a few run-throughs before the big day.
"About a month about before I did propose, we went out together and one of my friends played the role of Brynn," he explained. "We had to think, 'If she freaks out and let's go of the rope, what am I going to do? If I fall, what am I going to do?'
Alaskan Fishing Couple Have Wet Wedding Knee-Deep in Water
The men concluded that turning around to face his fiancé-to-be was the most efficient and practical way to pull off the proposal, and as you can see in the viral video that now has more than 1.2 million views, Gencarella's hard work paid off.
"I bought a costume jewelry ring that looked pretty real," he said of his decision to not risk losing the real ring while on the water. "I put it on my pinky finger and turned the stone downwards and put it on the hand farthest away from her. When I turned around, I drop and hold my palm open and have the ring open showing towards her."
Hathaway said yes, and when the happy couple returned the boat, their closest friends and family were there to greet them.
"It was perfect. It really was," Gencarella said. "Everybody was there that we were really close to, so there was lots of horn honking and shouts and cheers, lots of celebrations in that moment."
The newly engaged couple plan to wed Aug. 31 of next year.

.- Diocesan personnel files of 15 priests and teachers indicate that officials of the Diocese of Orange in Southern California moved pedophile priests between parishes for two decades, reported Reuters. A Los Angeles judge ordered the files released on Tuesday as part of a $100-million settlement, reached in January between the Diocese of Orange and 90 alleged victims of abuse.
Five of the priests are dead. The 10 other priests and teachers raised no objection.
"As a compassionate Church, we did not do right by those who suffered," said Bishop Tod Brown of Orange. He was appointed bishop in 1998, after most of the alleged abuse had taken place.
"I hope and pray that the release of these documents marks a turning point toward healing and recovery for those who have suffered and for their families," Bishop Brown said in a statement.
Reuters reported that the most damaging files centered on five priests. The files showed how bishops and administrators played down allegations and often minimized concerns of teachers and parents.
In one case, officials reportedly moved a serial molester to Mexico. In another, they offered an abuser several thousand dollars to leave the priesthood quietly.
One bishop wrote to a parishioner describing one priest as "a fine priest, zealous and generous-hearted." The priest, Eleuterio Ramos, died in 2004 after telling police a year earlier he had abused at least 25 boys.

Sick Coat
Fits well. I'm 6'4 220 with an athletic build, it is big enough to wear baggy, but I'm definitely not swimming in it. The blue is a very rich bright blue. Its not bright like a highlighter but it isn't dull. More pockets than I know what to do with. It is made very sturdy and the zippers are very high quality.
I highly recommend this coat.
what size did you buy?

Summer of Fur
Spring is mating season for pets, and unfortunately many pets, both parents and their homeless babies, end up in animal shelters and rescues across the country.

If you're ready to take home a furry new friend this summer, there are 10 things you should do to help prepare yourself, your family and your home to make good on the promise your heart already decided you were going to make.

Is it possible to professionally web develop without Photoshop?
I see beautiful websites all the time and wonder, can it be done and has it actually been done without Photoshop?
People have told me that it can make awesome layouts with its CSS feature that splits up a layout into separate images.
Can GIMP really compare in terms of web development?

You're confusing the graphic creations (using Photoshop), with the actual layout of a website.
The web designer creates the fantastic images and graphics using whatever program they use,
and then the web developer can use those images (either whole or broken apart) within their
XHTML/CSS to render the layout of the page(s).
Not many people are experts at BOTH Web Design and Web Development.
Usually, a graphic artist that uses Photoshop, GIMP, or whatever can do pixel-perfect
graphics, but can't grasp the actual "coding" to make a web page. The Web Developer
knows how to code with XHTML/CSS/PHP etc. He/she can take any graphic image and
use it on a web page.

In simple terms, the answer is Yes. Graphics can spice up a website, but a flashy website can still suck. The layout is the whole key. Look at this
Its all graphics, but its horrible, where is the links? how do you know what to click?
And for this one, it doesn't have much graphics, it's just basic colors mostly, and it's nice and clean and looks great.

Beautiful websites can be done without Photoshop. Although, if you are looking to get a little "spice" added on your site, I would suggest getting a FEW nice, clean, SMALL graphics. The main pitfalls to using graphics include slower load times (compared to a site that is made entirely using CSS), browser display issues, as well as the ability to go overboard.
Run screaming from animated .gifs, little fireballs surrounding your name and such.
Again, I agree with master, the short answer is yes. At the end of the day, content and usability are what make a site great.
This is slightly off topic but on that "oh my brain" site - is that slider nav bar created with CSS or Flash? That site is gorgeous.

And, for that matter, my company has never used Photoshop and has always used The Gimp.

I can fill any role, but I main Mid and Jungle at the moment. I used to be a top laner a few months back, and I would fill that as well if need be. I reached 1844, and am currently bouncing around. I have plenty of games spread on 3 accounts, and would love to find a serious, dedicated team that is going to last more than a couple of tourneys. I plan on moving up to competitive gaming this season, and this would be a nice start.

text: KRXI FOX 11 Reno - Search Results The following is an archived video story. The text content of that video story is available below for reference. The original video has been deleted and is no longer available. Mieras speaks publicly about removal as WCSD Police ChiefRENO, Nev. -- For the first time since his firing two weeks ago, former Washoe County School Police Chief Mike Mieras is speaking publicly.Mieras met with Fox 11 on Tuesday to talk about his firing and his career. He is steering clear from bashing the school district in any way, or even questioning the reasons for his firing. But there are some things he wants people to know about the job he did.One thing is clear, it is a job in which he took a great deal of pride every day. Mieras said he is still figuring out where to go from here. He was fired late last month, as part of what Superintendent Pedro Martinez called a restructuring. Mieras said he did not see it coming."There was no warning," said Mieras. "We were just going about our business, planning for next year."While Mieras is clearly disappointed in the decision, he said he looks back on what he accomplished in his 12 years as Chief with great pride. Among the highlights are securing nearly $1 million in federal grant money from the Department of Justice in 2003 to address school security issues, getting the Washoe County School District to become part of the Regional Gang Unit, and developing a strong canine program to help keep drugs and weapons out of schools.All of it, Mieras said, was a labor of love. "This was my dream job. A job that when you're a kid, you say 'I'd do that even without getting paid for it.'"Mieras also said he disagrees with the results of a recent audit, which indicated his department may have been too focused on day-to-day policing rather than long-term goals. "We were focused on long-term planning for school safety. To do that, you have to talk to the administrators, the staff."While Mieras ponders what his next move will be, he said he still holds a glimmer of hope that perhaps the school board will step in and force Martinez to put Mieras back in the job he held for the last 12 years."If a decision is made in government, and it's not the best decision of the people, then they should, I would hope they would listen to those individuals," said Mieras. "I put a lot of trust and faith in them. They are good people and I would assume they would."So far, the school board has been pretty quiet about Mieras' firing. As far as any public discussion at the next board meeting, Trustee Howard Rosenberg said he had no idea how things are going to play out.There is also no word from the school district on who will replace Mieras.

I began smoking marijuana in June 1969 and continue to do so. During that time, I have been a proponent for its legalization. However, I have since reversed my opinion and believe it should remain illegal.
Currently, I do not pay any tax when I purchase quantities of marijuana, and I prefer it that way. Why should I be compelled to pay a tax to any government entity for the privilege of buying something I believe should be my right to purchase from a friend or cultivate on my own property for my unrestricted personal use? In my mind, it is no different from having a backyard vegetable garden or making wine at home.

The Montclair Art Museum is located in Montclair, in Essex County, New Jersey, United States.
The Montclair Art Museum (MAM) is one of the few museums in the United States devoted to American art and Native American art forms. The collection consists of more than 12,000 works. The American collection comprises paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, and sculpture dating from the 18th century to the present. The museum's holdings of traditional and contemporary American Indian art and artifacts represent the cultural achievements in weaving, pottery, wood carving, jewelry, and textiles of indigenous Americans from seven major regions—Northwest Coast, California, Southwest, Plains, Woodlands, Southeast, and the Arctic; the work of contemporary American Indian artists is also represented.
The museum has the only gallery in the world dedicated solely to the work of the 19th-century American painter George Inness, who lived in Montclair from 1885 to 1894 and painted in the area. The intimate George Inness Gallery displays selected works from the museum's 21 Inness paintings, two of his watercolors, and an etching by the artist.[3] It also features the work of sculptor William Couper, who lived in Montclair until his death.
In the economic crisis of late 2008, the museum lost nearly a quarter of its endowment and, like scores of museums and nonprofits across the U.S., took steps to respond to the crisis.[4]
Artists in the collection include Tony Abeyta, Josef Albers, Milton Avery, Will Barnet, Romare Bearden, Thomas Hart Benton, Carl Borg, Margaret Bourke-White, Alexander Calder, Thomas Cole, Willie Cole, Stuart Davis, Willem de Kooning, Richard Diebenkorn, Elsie Driggs, Asher B. Durand, Thomas Eakins, Lee Friedlander, Arshile Gorky, Marsden Hartley, Robert Henri, Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper, George Inness, Ben Jones, Donald Judd, Helen Levitt, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Longo, Whitfield Lovell, Man Ray, Thomas Manley, Knox Martin, Ma-Pe-Wi, Robert Motherwell, Dan Namingha, Alice Neel, Louise Nevelson, Georgia O'Keeffe, Sarah Miriam Peale, Rembrandt Peale, Charles Willson Peale, Philip Pearlstein, Maurice Prendergast, Oscar Bluemner, Ad Reinhardt, Mark Rothko, Morgan Russell, John Singer Sargent, George Segal, Ben Shahn, Lorna Simpson, Jaune Quick-To-See Smith, Joseph Stella, Kay WalkingStick, Andy Warhol, Max Weber, and James Abbott McNeill Whistler.
The museum opened its doors in 1914, thanks to the donations of artwork and funding of its two founders, Montclair residents William T. Evans, civic leader and art collector, and heiress Florence Osgood Rand Lang. William T. Evans also donated works that helped seed the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
During the late 19th century, the bucolic town of Montclair evolved into a lively community of artists and collectors. Among its most prominent inhabitants was one of America's greatest landscape painters, George Inness, who resided in Montclair between 1885 and his death in 1894, attracting a following of painters and sculptors and galvanizing the collective art consciousness that eventually gave birth to the museum. Others, such as the neoclassical sculptor William Couper, served on the town's Municipal Art Commission, established in 1908 to beautify Montclair and preserve the charm of a country town. Presiding over the commission was the civic-minded William T. Evans, a dry-goods magnate and prolific collector who had acquired the Montclair estate of George Inness, Jr., in 1900. Between the early 1880s and 1913, Evans purchased more than 800 American paintings, making his the largest collection of American art before World War I.
The American collection began with a gift of 36 paintings from Evans, including works by George Inness, Ralph Albert Blakelock, and Childe Hassam. He also contributed a sculpture, "The Sun Vow", by Hermon Atkins MacNeil, a signature piece for the museum. Situated at the circle at MAM's front entrance since 1914, the sculpture blends Native American and American themes.
Montclair resident Florence Rand Lang was inspired by Evans and the promise of a local museum, as well as by the potential opportunity to honor her mother, Annie Valentine Rand, a collector of Native American art. The Rand Collection given at that time encompassed several hundred objects, including baskets, clothing, jewelry, and household items that reflect the vitality and traditions of Native American cultures.
Architect Albert R. Ross, who designed many Carnegie libraries, the Pueblo County Courthouse in Colorado, and contributed to the design of McKim, Mead & White's Milwaukee County Courthouse, was hired by museum trustee Michel Le Brun to design the Beaux Arts building. As the collection has grown, so too has the building housing it. The museum underwent renovations in 1924, 1931 and 2000-2001. The recent renovation doubled the museum's square footage, with architectural firm Beyer Blinder Belle at the helm.[5]
In 2008 and 2009, the museum lost a significant portion of its endowment when the U.S. stock markets collapsed and contributions dried up. The endowment fell from $8 million to $6 million from July 1, 2008 to April 17, 2009. As a result, MAM cut its staff from 57 to 44 positions in the nine months up to April 2009, cut the hours of the remaining employees to four days a week, closed its administrative offices on Mondays, all of which the museum estimated would save $500,000 and leaving the museum with an annual operating budget of about $4 million. The museum also started a new fundraising campaign with the goal of bringing MAM's endowment to $15 million by 2015. The museum also announced a deaccession program in which it would sell its collection of costumes, rug collection, books and "selected works from storage that are duplicative, of lesser quality than objects already in our collection by the same artist, or are not consistent with the collecting mission of the museum."[4] Museum officials said they hoped to raise $3 million to $5 million with the sale of about 50 items.[6] Money earned from the sales would be put in a special fund for new purchases.[4]
In January 2009, the museum announced it had transferred most of its LeBrun Library to the Harry A. Sprague Library at Montclair State University, a public institution that accepts library cards from public libraries in Essex and Passaic counties.[7]
In 2009, the museum and the Baltimore Museum of Art organized the exhibition "Cézanne and American Modernism," with 131 items, including 18 works by Cézanne. In a news release, MAM called the show "the largest, most ambitious exhibition in the 95-year history of the museum." After appearing in Montclair, the exhibition traveled to the Baltimore Museum of Art, and in late 2010 the Phoenix Art Museum.[8]
Other programs[edit]
The museum's educational programs serve a wide public from toddlers to senior citizens. Collaborations with numerous cultural and community partners bring artists, performers, and scholars to the museum on a regular basis. MAM's Yard School of Art is a regional art school offering an array of classes for children, youth, adults, seniors, and professional artists.[1]

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Commodores still searching for first win
The season has started off the way the Lafayette Commodores would have liked it too. Two losses to Tupelo and Corinth to begin the season have the Commodores (0-2) looking to put a one in the win column. They have their chance this Friday but it won't be easy as they welcome the DeSoto Central Jaguars (1-1). (September 4, 2014, Page 8)
Corinth rallies to top Commodores 17-14
For the first time since 2008, the Lafayette Commodores have opened their season with back-to-back losses. Nine penalties, three turnovers, and two missed field goals doomed Lafayette in a tight contest as a 23-yard field goal from Jake Curtis with 31 seconds remaining clinched a 17-14 win for Corinth on Friday night at William L. Buford Stadium. (September 1, 2014, Page 6)
Lady 'Dores win region opener
Lafayette high school volleyball coach Clint Jordan wanted to see more pressure put on the opposition with a faster pace of play. His Lady 'Dores did just that, particularly in game one, in a 3-0 victory over Water Valley in the Class I-Region 2 opener for both teams Thursday evening at the LHS gym. (August 29, 2014, Page 3B)
Rivalry games highlight prep slate
A pair of special rivalry games are coming up for two of the three local high school teams, while the third team is looking to get in the win column after a season-opening setback.
Commodores looking for offense to come around against Corinth
The opening week did not go as planned for Lafayette, which lost to Tupelo 20-0 last Friday. The Commodores hope this week against Corinth will be a different story. (August 28, 2014, Page 6)
Oxford notches 3-0 win over Commodores
The Oxford and Lafayette High volleyball teams reignited the Crosstown Rivalry for the first time this school year inside the Lafayette High gym Tuesday. The Chargers got the better of Lafayette in this installment with a 3-0 (25-19, 25-10, 25-21) victory. (August 27, 2014, Page 6)
'Dores' Williams signs with St. Francis
The school year is not even a month old, and soccer season has not even started. But Lafayette senior goalkeeper Jamie Williams already knows where she will be playing next fall. Williams signed a National Letter of Intent with the University of St. Francis in Fort Wayne, Ind., on Tuesday at the Lafayette High library. (August 27, 2014, Page 6)
Tupelo blanks Commodores in opener
Lafayette ran 43 offensive plays in its season opener against Tupelo Friday night. The Golden Wave's defense didn't let the Commodores do much on any of them. Lafayette mustered just 91 yards of offense in a 20-0 loss to Tupelo at William L. Buford Stadium. Tupelo also forced the Commodores into three turnovers, including Demaris Wise's 65-yard pick-six on the game's final play, turning the matchup of state championship game participants from a season ago into a one-sided affair.

First off, I have to say that my dealership has taken very good care of me and any issues I have had with my 2011 DC OR.
Looking for some opinions (and I know there are a ton out there)....
I purchased my truck new from the dealer. The dealer installed (via 4WPs) a 2.25 pro comp strut top plate spacer (not coil spacer) and had the cab mounts properly cut, fenders trimmed, etc. The issue is I am still getting major rubbing on my driver side front even when driving into "steep" driveways. None on the passenger side. there is no further trimming that can be done since the tire is rubbing against one of the body seems.
The only way to solve the issue is either by getting smaller tires (currently have 285/70R 17s BFG ATs) or increasing my lift (with 5100s or other coilover lift)
My question..Since I bought it from the dealer this way and all the lift components are covered under a 5 year warranty, should the dealer resolve the rubbing issue on their dime? or me on my dime?
Again...I have no complaints with this dealer.

The city of Rio de Janeiro experienced a 142 percent increase in recorded cargo theft incidents in the first quarter of 2014, compared to the same time frame in 2013. The increase in cargo theft incidents is speculated to be a direct result of the government's crackdown on drug trafficking and other organized crimes as the World Cup approaches. This, in turn, appears to have caused gangs to diversify their activities with many expanding into cargo theft. The majority of the thefts being reported in Rio are occurring in the metropolitan areas. Thieves are targeting delivery vehicles and intercity cargo shipments.
FreightWatch recommends extreme vigilance for logistics operations in the area. Also recommended is a multilevel security program to adequately respond to any incidents that might arise. Along with the electronic monitoring of shipments, FreightWatch recommends drivers maintain constant communication with control centers as a way to increase the probability of an adequate and timely reaction to any events that might arise.

This petition urges Lowe's to reform their military discount policy for veterans.
Lowe's Corporate Policy offers an everyday 10% discount only to retired military veterans or those with a VA Card who receive benefits through the VA. However, the overwhelming majority of honorably discharged veterans are not retired from the military or don't qualify for the VA card, leaving a vast number of our heroes unrecognized.
Every time a veteran goes into a Lowe's and is rejected from receiving the 10% discount because he or she isn't the "right kind" of veteran, its military policy administers unequal treatment of America's veteran community. After all - retired, disabled or not, didn't they all equally put their life on the line to defend our freedom?
Lowe's does offer a 10% military discount to all veterans on Veterans Day, 4th of July and Memorial Day but the number of veterans only continues to grow as more and more military are discharged. These heroes are coming back home after serving our country to start families and build homes.
What a wonderful and meaningful gesture it would be for Lowe's to extend the 10% discount to ALL veterans, every day. After all, they didn't only choose three days out of the year to protect our nation and keep us safe.
Ralph Dalessandro
Home Depot used to accept the Thank A Vet card but lately the manager has denied the card and has a nasty attitude to the point that I will not shop there any more. I will go to Loews instead, they will take the discount and give me a "Thanks for your service".
You have proof from Erie county that you are a vet-yet there is no (albeit small)
gratitude for putting your life on the line for their FREEDOM at Home Depot except for 3 days a year. -
marty herron
Lowes (Orchard Park) has been good to me in the past. I did major remodeling in my home. They never questioned my Erie County issued card. Chris Jacobs and his office treated me with great respect when I applied two years ago. This was a nice perk while it lasted! I feel for the employees that have to hear our complaining. If the American Legion had gotten involved maybe something could have happened
Sharon Chaplain
I was just at the Brockport Lowe's and the manager wouldn't even look at me when she denied my card. After checking the Dept. of Veteran's Affairs website, I went back down to complain. The store employees told me this "new policy" came down from corporate, they're aware of how awful it is & that the best thing I could do would be to contact corporate & complain.

Rating: 3/5Great sound, key design flawsThis review is from: Sangean Digital AM/FM Wooden Cabinet Table-Top Radio WR-2 Black Pros: Excellent sound from the single high quality speaker, warm smooth bass, RDS means time is always correct, handy remote, good value for price. Bass and treble settings. Quality construction. Cons: Confusing, multiple steps for setting alarm. No battery backup (see comments) No USB or iPod input. Mono sound. Other Thoughts: This radio is all about sound quality. Don't buy if you are looking primarily for an alarm clock. A major pain just to set time, requiring multiple button pushes, plus no battery backup for radio settings. Curiously, there is a 12 v DC input even though the radio is 110AC. Hint; I went to The shack and purchased a 9v battery holder and connected a battery to the DC input. Presto, power outage protection for my radio and alarm settings - although I would guess the radio would quickly drain the battery if sound was left on. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Commission to solicit town attorney services
Date: February 6, 2013
by: Kurt Schultheis | Managing Editor
For the first time in 23 years, a new town attorney will soon sit on the end of the dais.
At its regular meeting Monday, Feb. 4, at Town Hall, the Longboat Key Town Commission agreed to move forward with a bid for a new town attorney.
Town Manager Dave Bullock was given direction to place a bid for the services of the attorney. The bid will remain for 30 days before the town schedules one or two commission work sessions to review the firms that apply.
In total, it could take the commission four to six weeks to go through the process and select a new attorney.
"It all depends how many proposals we get," Bullock said. "If we get 10 proposals, you may only want to review the top three to five."
A debate centered on how the commission should choose its next attorney.
Bullock said the commission, which has the ultimate say for the charter official position, could decide on its own or create an advisory committee of citizens and staff that could whittle the list.
Commissioner Jack Duncan supported the commission to go it alone.
"This is a position the commission hires and we are the commission," Duncan said. "We are certainly capable of looking at applications and making the assessments from beginning to end."
Commissioner Pat Zunz, however, suggested forming a committee that could include Bullock, a retired Longboat Key attorney and retired Longboat Key CEOs.
Although that group didn't receive support, the commission did agree to use Bullock and Planning, Zoning and Building Director Robin Meyer to provide input for a new attorney selection.
"In the end, though, the commission is the customer and the commission has the need," said Commissioner Terry Gans. "The commission should be the selection process in all facets of this."
Town Attorney David Persson will stay on in his capacity as town attorney no later than June 30, to give Bullock and the commission time to interview replacement candidates.
Persson accepted the Venice city attorney position last month.
Town Attorney Duties
The town of Longboat Key's charter says the town attorney shall:
• Serve as legal adviser to the town, the Town Commission and all of the governmental and proprietary functions of the town and its departments, divisions, officers, boards and committees.
• Prepare and review all proposed ordinances and resolutions of the town.
• Prosecute and defend all legal actions wherein the town is a party in interest.
• Perform such other legal services the Town Commission or town manager requests.

Hello, I am hoping somebody can help diagnose a potential problem with my heat pump/electric furnace. My intuition tells me it could be an installation/wiring issue. I live in a pretty new semi-detach (less than 7 months old) with a Ruud Achiever 2.5 ton external heat pump, paired to a RHLL3617 electric furnace (with 14.4 kW heat strip). Both are mated to a Robert Shaw RS5220 2-stage heat/cool thermostat. Settings on thermostat: I live in and around the Montreal, QC region and for the past several weeks I have been monitoring my hydro meter quite closely. I very much suspect that the furnace elements are somehow turning on when my heat pump turns on even though I can clearly see that 2nd stage heating hasn't come on (i.e. room temperature is 66 and setpoint is at 68F). For a 20 minute recorded period, I noticed my meter spike approximately 7kWh. In this same period, all other major appliance in my home are off. Any thoughts? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
We should know wherther you have experience with volt/amp meters and comfortable working with LIVE electric circuits. And since a little knowledge can be dangerous, are you aware 240 devices are often HOT eventhough they are off at the time? Please tell us and we can start from there. |
Hi Klem1, I spoke to the tech who installed the air handler and heat pump for my house. He told me if I wanted to start somewhere without having to spend money for a phantom issue is to open the top panel and clamp an amp meter to see if I get any current draw. Unfortunately, I do not have that type of meter and they are kind of expensive. I haven't ruled out a defrost cycle kicking in, but the outdoor fan was running for almost the full 20 minutes I observed. From what I've read, the outdoor fan should be off when a defrost cycle is activated? However, calling Rheem/Ruud technical support offered me conflicting information saying the outdoor fan still rotates during a defrost cycle. My observations is that the period I'm away at work uses about 2kWh mainly from water tank losses and my fridge. I note the starting meter value and again after my heat pump shuts off after reaching the target setpoint. I've also recorded 10 minute cycles from my heat pump that used 2.5-3 kWh. |
Your calculations point to what you are suspecting,unfortunatly you tec is right about confirmation with clamp on amp meter. On the asumption you know what you are doing around electric,do you have a regular volt meter with leads? |
Unfortunately, I do not have any electrical measurement devices. I would also be less inclined to use the volt-meter with the 2 leads for fear of the obvious. My a/c worked fine in the summer. I get heat, but I want to avoid paying 4-5 times the cost at these cold but not extreme temperatures. The technician won't charge me anything if it was an error on his part during installation. Again, I haven't ruled anything out... |
Well that takes care of that. Good technicians depend on meters to accuratly narrow down the source of trouble. It would be a bit presumptous of me thinking I can guide you sans meter and nervious to boot. Sorry but that's how the mop flops. |
"Sorry but that's how the mop flops." That's actually, "Sorry but that how the swab flays." But I agree with your point!!! |

Why not break down and pay for a service call? |
Hello, A service call is my last resort. It's a new house, and the hvac equipment is brand new. I have tested the first and second stage heating and it activates properly as seen from thermostat. I tested the emergency heat yesterday for a duration of 24 minutes and it indeed locked out the heat pump. During that period, it used 6 kWh which matches the 14.4kW heat strip rating and however much the ECM motor draws in the air handler. The potential problem lies in my first stage when it is quite apparent my system is using a great deal more energy than it should be (i.e. heat pump power draw + heat strip power draw + indoor and outdoor fans). |
"A service call is my last resort." Have you not reached your "last resort?" You've concluded your new heat pump in your new home is not operating correctly, have you not? |
There must be a circuit breaker for the heat strips alone. Have you shut that off while the t-stat should, and then should not, be calling for furnace activation? Watch the meter spin rate under both conditions. That should isolate the problem. |
There is an internal breaker, rated at 60 amps (or possibly more as the switch lever had 2 "60"s), when I briefly inspected inside the furnace's top panel. I can't confirm if it is solely for the heat strips and/or blower. |

"There is an internal breaker, rated at 60 amps (or possibly more as the switch lever had 2 "60"s), when I briefly inspected inside the furnace's top panel. I can't confirm if it is solely for the heat strips and/or blower." You'll find out when you turn it off. The blower won't pull 60 amps, but the heater elements will. Normally, defrost mode does not turn off the fans. Defrost mode reverses the direction of refrigerant flow so that the outside heats up and the inside gets cold (like normal AC). Auxiliary heat is activated at the same time to keep you from freezing your kiester off. I have a 2.5ton Trane that pulls around 3.0-3.5 kw when running. |
Aside from perhaps separate breakers for the backup as suggested by ionized, another possible method that might have a chance of indicating what's going on would be measuring temperature in the plenum. Even a meat thermometer might be useful. I also live in Montreal. Has your meter been switched by Hydro Quebec to the new 'Smart' meter? If so, are you basing any of your analysis on the 'DMW' reading, or solely on the 'LIV'reading? SR |
Hello, I finally proved to myself that something is definitely ajar when my system is purely on first stage heat. I took a clamp meter and measured the current drawn from the cables entering and leaving the heat kit terminal. The meter read 60.4 amps!This current draw is consistent with the blower and heat strips operating, in addition to whatever my heat pump is using. I am half relieved as I knew I wasn't crazy about my calculations and trying to self diagnose the issue. On the wiring diagram, there is a note mentioning that for a heat kit greater than 13kW the W1 and W2 cables be jumpered to provide maximum temperature boost. I have a feeling it could be this. @weedmeister: 3 -3.5 kW sounds about right. It depends on the environment temp, which affects COP of the pump. At most, a 2.5 ton unit should not draw more than 3.6kW. As for the possibility of my unit entering defrost mode for periods longer than a few minutes is unlikely at my current location's temperature and relative humidity. @fsq4cs:Yup, my 2nd gen meter was swapped out back in early September. I based my energy consumption by recording the LIV values at specific times. Honestly, I only caught onto this problem when I saw my meter jump by 50kWh in a single day when I normally used 17. I have a pretty good idea of approximately how much energy is used when I'm at home or when it's unoccupied. I've tried dissecting the DMW to figure out how the hvac equipment is requesting 19.596kW! I backwards calculated the power draw over the 20 minute heating cycle and surely, I got 6.5kWh which appeared as a delta 7 kWh on the smart meter. |
Normally, defrost mode does not turn off the fans.The three units with which I'm familiar -- 2 houses myself (Lennox, Carrier), 1 my parents (Lennox) ... the outside (condensor) fan does turn off during defrost. My Carrier is a 5-ton unit with two banks of heat strips, two breakers for the blower unit. One breaker controls the blower fan and one of the heat strips. The other breaker is for the 2nd heat strip, which I usually keep it turned off. |
Just a thought from the peanut gallery- this sort of sounds like the defrost is overactive? I know on our older Rheem HP there were jumpers to change some of the settings (time vs temperature) on the defrost board. I have no idea what the right settings would be for QB, but that's one thing I'd start thinking about as you continue troubleshooting. As others have noted, though, it might be time to call service. If it's only 7 months old, do you not have some sort of warranty from the builder? I would think a problem that early on shouldn't be yours to be paying for. |
weedmeister said, "Normally, defrost mode does not turn off the fans." Here is an explanation/demonstration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2TU11Lfjk8 Mine does as does the Carrier shown in the video linked to below.. |

I don't understand the electrical issues...but an Amp Meter is a tool that people use once or twice a year. When I need a tool like that, I borrow it. Post on Facebook to see if one of your friends has one. See if you can rent one at Lowes or Home Depot. It's not the same thing, but my library will let you sign out a Kill-A-Watt(TM). |
Please verify that your thermostat is configured as a heat pump. You should be able to do this by removing the cover of the thermostat and looking at the lower left of the stat. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Link to your thermostat installation manual online.

Q&As with Amby Burfoot
I have put in the info for a 16 week training plan for a marathon after using Smart Coach twice previously.
It has only given me two days/week training!!
I am happy with training 3 times/week as i have done previously. I have tried ammending some of the data inputted, but it still only comes up with two days.
It seems to be missing my usual midweek easy run?
Any ideas??
Thanks, Chozza
Some time ago, it waas possibel to choose between kilometers or miles in the smart coach.
Why is this choice gone?
If you suppose to be international, is miles not enough...
Anyone know how to print the plan out? I've tried clicking the "veiw printable version" button but that doesn't seem to make any difference.
All the figures on Smartcoach are in miles. There is no option for km. Do I have to go through each day's training and change it manually? Surely it would be easy to program this?!
What can I do instead of cross training? Would cycling be any good? Looking to do a half marathon.
